...inches, and gained another inch on one of Ewald's first attempts to heave, '88 did not regain any of this lost ground notwithstanding her phenomenal rope team, and Tech. had 3 inches at the end of the five minutes. The result is due to the extreme pluck of the Tech. men and the slowness and inexperience of the '88 anchor. The Harvard team was as follows: Ewald, Chase, Purdon and Pease...
...fail to appreciate, the efforts which most of our athletic men are continually making during the examinations. They are training quietly and patiently throughout these weary weeks that Harvard may win more athletic laurels next spring.

...were written and required to be written, we claim that the poet would be treated differently, and his productions would be received with the favor they deserve. Why not have themes for poems as well as for essays? The writers need not soar into the skies and try to pluck out the very stars on their first attempt, when their wings are weak. They would not be expected to rival Pope or Coleridge, Bryant or Tennyson; but, by all means, give the student a chance to express himself in verse. Give him a free chance by putting...
